Îïèñàíèå: c/n 01 France’s attempt at a VTOL fighter, the Mirage III.V had nine engines, eight for lift and one for forward motion. With a maximum speed of Mach 2.04, it remains the only ever Mach 2 capable VTOL aircraft, although the maintenance issues attached to having eight lift engines meant it would never be a realistic production aircraft. It first flew in the hover on 12th February 1965 and its first transition from hovering to horizontal flight took place on 24th March 1966. Sadly, the second prototype crashed in November 1966 and the project was cancelled soon after. The remaining first prototype was donated to the National collection and arrived at Le Bourget by road in the early 1970’s. Since 1979 it has been on display in the fascinating Prototypes Hall (Hall 7) at the Mus'ee de l'air et de l'espace. Le Bourget Airport, Paris, France. 12th July 2022
